    Celebrate Pride in 2025!
    At A Thinking Ape, we believe in creating gamesโ€”and a workplaceโ€”where everyone feels welcome, seen, and celebrated. Pride is a time to honour the diversity and strength of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, and we're proud to stand in solidarity! Whether you're in-game or IRL, we're here to support authenticity, inclusion, and love in all its forms ๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿฉท๐Ÿ’™

    In the spirit of Pride, we want to hear what love means to you! We also encourage youโ€”if you have the meansโ€”to take the time to make a donation to an LGTBQ+ charity of your choice.

  3. Happy Pride!!
    I want to send out a thanks to ATA for this event (how come I just found out about this?!)

    To me: Pride is about being able to be authentically you :) I remember not being able to express myself when I was younger or having the right vocabulary for my gender/sexuality.

    I am glad there is more representation in media about different kinds of relationships.

    I made this drawing based on the Asexual Pride flag.
    I used the past Barbie box avi as a base. The colors are grey/purple/white. I was so excited to draw something for Pride. I wanted to CELEBRATE!!;)
     
  4. Love is love. You support your partner/friend/family as they support you back. Everyone has flaws and accepting each others flaws speaks volumes when there is so much hate and weakness iut there. When we come together, we can lift each other up and conquer darned near anything.

    2SLGBTQIA+ is an acronym that broadly encompasses individuals whose sexual orientation, gender identity, or sex characteristics differ from the heterosexual and cisgender norms. It stands for Two-Spirit, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex, Asexual, and those with other diverse identities. The "+" acknowledges the vast spectrum of identities and experiences within the 2SLGBTQIA+ community.

    Elaboration:
    2S (Two-Spirit): This term is used by some Indigenous people in North America to describe individuals who hold both masculine and feminine spirits.
     
  7. The face looks like michael jackson a bit. His name came to my mind instantly when I saw this
     
  8. I just asked whats 2s. I didnt ask for a full history breakdown. It wasnt there last year. People are only going to know the new things right away if they are hesvily involved with it
